A beautiful house in a great location.

Hawthorne Cottage is a lovely house with every facility. It is very comfortable, with a good kitchen and facilities. Set high up on the hill overlooking Guildford, it has beautiful views, and is so peaceful. The weather was not cold enough to light the fire, but would be very cosy during winter.We plan to book there again as soon as we can plan another visit.It is so close to Castelmaine and Daylesford - our favourite parts of central western Victoria.Janine is a most attentive and responsive host.

Lovely cottage and grounds

Loved the cottage and grounds, in a very quiet location. Spending the afternoon under the grapevine covered pergola was just perfect! Short walk to the Guildford Hotel and General store means you don't need to drive anywhere (Castlemaine and Daylesford are just a short drive away if you feel the need). Loved being away from the crowds of Dayelsford. Our host was always extremely prompt answering any queries. We will definitely be back.
